Listening to One Another

At our last meeting, we talked about listening. We watched a short movie and talked about what we do and do not hear.

We talked briefly about the role of listening in playing jazz music. Listening is incredibly important to this style of music. Jazz musicians must listen to know when to change a rhythm and change keys. They must listen to know when to follow and when to lead.

For us to think about some of these things as a group, we played some acting improv games. Besides being a really great time, it reminded us that we had to listen to help us to know what to say and how to act in each game.
